# How to Tie Corsage Bows
A corsage is a small bouquet that is pinned on a woman's clothing on her shoulder or worn on her wrist in celebration of a wedding, prom, or another formal occasion. A corsage consists of a few flowers, such as a carnations, a bow, and a pin or elastic for wearing it. The bow keeps the flowers and any other elements in place while the corsage is worn. Materials for the bows include lace, satin, silk, and cotton.
